do'es my case have adequate ventilation for a 3rd HDD?
OS HDD is 1TB 7200RPM (located in the HDD cage), first storage HDD is 2TB 5400RPM,(located directly under DVD drive) 3rd HDD I'd like to have will also be 2TB 5400RPM, (plan location is the second spot in HDD cage).
MOBO has six SATA ports, so maybe w/ a intake fan I could potensionalley have more than three?
I'm using the OEM PSU which is 300watts.
Here's a image
of my case I have added a rear case fan since this image was taken.
The front of the case is solid theres a small slite on the bottom front which I believe is the intake.
Would it be beneficial to cut a 80mm hole in the front of the case (then tape a filter over the hole) and add a intake fan.
Here's a image of the front of the case, (I don't care about cosmetics just preformance the PC is located behind the TV inside a wooden cabinet )
Acer Aspire M3910-U4012 - Core i3 550 3.2 GHz none. - product summary - Bing Shopping
heres a image of the inside front of case where I plan the intake fan.
I'm thinking I can plug it into a molex connecter.
Thanks for advice
